Country music’s No. 1 hit songwriter and recording artist Greylan James, along with Trenton locals Charlie Bacon, Travis Mullenix, and Sam Gibson, drew a crowd of approximately 315 attendees to the Leadership Northwest Music Jam on Saturday night. This turnout was the largest in the event’s three-year history. All ticket proceeds benefited the Leadership Northwest Missouri program, raising $11,615 for the organization.
The show was hosted for the third consecutive year at Black Silo Winery in Trenton, Missouri, on Saturday, September 2. Black Silo Grill and Powerhouse Food provided various dinner options.
“This year’s Leadership Northwest Music Jam was fantastic,” said Kendra Pickering, a member of LNWMO’s Class of 2022 and its executive director. “There was entertaining live music, good food, and wonderful company, all coming together to benefit a great organization.”
